Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy star in the accalimed new production of David's Hare's Skylight directed by Stephen Daldry at the Wyndhams Theatre

Skylight is set on a bitterly cold London evening. Schoolteacher Kyra Hollis receives an unexpected visit from her former lover, Tom Sergeant, a successful and charismatic restaurateur whose wife has recently died. As the evening progresses, the two attempt to rekindle their once passionate relationship only to find themselves locked in a dangerous battle of opposing ideologies and mutual desires.

★★★★★“ "The combination of private pain and public rage in this revival of David Hare's play hits you straight between the eyes" The Guardian

★★★★★ "Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan are superb in this revival of David Hare's prickly, intelligent mid-nineties play" Evening Standard

 ★★★★★ "Bill Nighy and Carey Mulligan give powerful and emotionally bruising performances in this new production of David Hare's great play" Daily Telegraph

 ★★★★"The actors beautifully trace the arc from the thaw of verbal sparring… through rekindled passion to the final bout of full-blooded ideological jousting" The Independent

Bill Nighy's extensive film credits include Love Actually, Notes on a Scandal and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and whose stage roles include Pravda and the world premiere of David Hare’s The Vertical Hour on Broadway. Carey Mulligan's many films include Inside Llewyn Davis, The Great Gatsby, An Education. She makes her West End stage debut. They are joined by Matthew Beard (An Education, One Day, The Look of Love). 

 
Skylight is directed by Stephen Daldry who recently directed the sell-out West End production of The Audience and whose award-winning stage work also includes An Inspector Calls and Billy Elliott the Musical.

David Hare is the author of 29 plays for stage including Plenty, Racing Demon, Amy’s View, The Blue Room, The Judas Kiss, Pravda (with Howard Brenton) and, most recently, South Downs. His many screenplays include The Hours and The Reader.
 
Skylight was originally produced in 1995 at The National Theatre before transferring to the West End and Broadway. It was that year’s recipient of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Play.
